worship at the shrine of freedom, and
in the temple of the American heart,
placed in loftiest niche as best repre-
senting their worship, they have placed
the form of the citizen soldier. Other
nations have relied upon mercenary
levies, but Americas greatness in war
rests upon her volunteer. A nation
born amid the pangS of war, it's founda-
soldiers. Rights denied us by naughty
and arrogant power, won by the bavery
OF volunteers, and when amid storm of
civil strife our ship of state careened
upon the mad waves of civil war, it was
upborne upon the bayOnetS of
a million volunteers. Fitting then
that the American should bow before an
image of the citizen sOldiery Through
the providence of God and the bravery
of our people we have lived to record
the closing chapters of a struggle old as
time. For the rebellion did not involve
the simple question of whether or not
the states should separate, but it was
the final grand contest of mans effort
to establish government by the gov

praise can be said of you than that in
the last closing chapter you played well
your part, and no higher tribute can be
paid the memory of your dead COM
rades than to say of them that they per-
lshed that freedom might survive, and
sealed the eternal covenant with their
own life blood.

Company A men.
Congressman Macdonald was this
morning especially honored by seat
of the march to Arlington cemetery,
where he participated in the ceremonies
of decorating the graves. He returned
to camp just in time to see the prizes
awarded. Competent judges say the
first prize should have been given to
Company D.; that the LomaX rifles used
three click guns on inspection and then
used two click pieces for competition
drill. This was not known when the
decision was announced and it now said
that if this fact had been known to the
judges Company d would have received
first prize and the Lomax rifles consid-
erably less, if any place.
CONGRESSMAN MACDONALD
gave dinner at Wizards this evening
in honor of Company d, who took sec
ond prize in the national drill. Among
those present were Lieut.. Col. Blakely,
Capt. Bean, Sergt. Merrill and wife,
Corporal Stack and wife and Frank
Hill of the war department. Before
leaving the table following telegram
was penned by Judge Macdonald:

panies of the nations. st. Paul should be
proud and accord them fitting reception.

THE LOMAX RIFLES.
Mobile, Ala, was worthily repre-
sented in camp and drill by the Lomax
Rifles, which company, though only
three years old, had already won an en-
viable name for its excellence in drill
The company was organized after the
great national drill at Nashville, and
has been in three competitive drills. 1t
Contest at Mobile, in May,
1885, over nine old organizations,
and in the same year. at Nashville,
won fourth place in the free for all"
In the latter contest all the great drill
companies of the United States took
part. In Philadel phia, the same year,
the LomaX Rifles drilled third, be-
ing ranked next to the Houston
Light Guards and the Montgomery
GreyS. The company was the only one at
the drill from Alabama and the repre-
sentative from that portion of the coun-
try of the New South" When CUES
ton was raised in the South about the
participation of colored troops in the
drill, Capt. Davis came out promptly
and boldly, ridiculing any sentiment or
prejudice on that score. The uniform
worn by the company in the drill was
white duck pants, dark-blue cadet coats,
with pale blue facings, white belts, and
no cross-belts, light-blue helmets, with
white buffalo plumes.

Lawyers Disagree.

hold an adjourned meeting of the Chi
cago bar, for the purpose of nominating
six judges in place of the combined Re-
publican and Democratic machine
ticket, places on which are said to have
been sold to the highest bidder. The
report of the committee appointed at the
last meeting to suggest a dozen names
was not unanimous. After great eonfu-
sion it was decided to hold primary

yers shall vote. The idea is to make

considerable opposition to this plan
however, and a strong possibility exists
that the entire movement will be
wrecked by lack of harmony.

THE BELKNAP RIFLES.
From away down in Texas hail the
Belknap Rifles, of San Antonio. other
wise Company /, Second regiment, Texas
Volunteer Guards. The company was
organized in June, 1884, but did not re-
ceive their arms until six months after
that date, which makes their present
showing still more creditable. Six months
later, June, 1885, found them ON the COM
.petitive field at Lampasas, Tex, where
they took second place. Defeat only
urged them to greater effort. Their
next victory was scored at San Antonio,
Tex, October, 1885, where they took
first place, defeating number of COM
panieS which have since made records
for themselves. Their next victory was
at Galveston, Tex, August, 1885, where
they emerged with second place. The
command has been called into service
by the governor only once, which was
for the purpose of quelling Mexican
political riot at Laredo, Tex, April to
s, 1886.
AT the time of their organization their
pluck and evident capabilities attracted
the notice of Col. Augustus Belknap,
an eX-officer of the famous Seventh regi-
ment of New York and now president
of the San Antonio Street Railway COM
pany, who gave them his name, and
later added more substantial tokens of
his appreciation. This company is called
the ''KidS" at home from the fact that its
members range i'll age from seven
teen to nineteen years. The uniform of
the privateS is almost like the United
States artillery full dress uniform. 1t
consists of dark blue square-cut coat,
reaching just below the hips, one row of
large state buttons down the front, red
cuffs, red and gilt Russian shoulder
knots; tail OF coat trimmed with red,
and gilt edges; pants lighter blue, with
one and One-half inch red dOeskin
stripe, white helmets with red plumes,
brass eagle and chain equipments:
black belt with letter IT, McKeever
boxes and bronZed bayonet scabbards.
The company is entered for the COM
pany, individual and craftsmanship
prizes.
THE SAN ANTONIO RIFLES.
The San Antonio rifles lay claim to
the championship of the state, not by
mere courtesy alone, but by their brill
liant bearing on many wellcontested
field in their native state. The rifles
were organized as Company A, Third
regiment, Texas volunteers, on May 26,
1856, and, although young in
years, they are old in achievements.
They are regarded at home
as the successors of the famous
Houstons, and this pre-eminence has
not been conferred upon them, but has
been dearly won. They have carried off
the state championship in two success
